If VOSA are investigating this matter then I would imagine it must have some substance.
Is there an owner of one of these early cars with the wherewithall to measure this thread ?

Anyone's welcome to try a 0-25mm micrometer I have(they would have to bring the car to my house as I really would'nt want to post it out),but only measures to 0.01 accuracy.However measurements to 0.001 metric would be more suitable for delicate engine parts or bits for a rolex watch.
Trouble is,the nut might have to be removed to get at the spindle thread.
